Title: Quote of the day
Post by: firko on September 27, 2012, 09:33:40 am
  Some people will tell you that slow is good – but I’m here to tell you that fast is better.  I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me.  Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube.  That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba…

It's always said that "slow and steady wins the race" but that wont get the holeshot-ever!!
I love watching Vids of sidecarcross, especially when the 5 sec board goes up and everyone gets into position for the start. You can see the tension mount.

The older generation are more valuable than any of the younger generation:
We have silver in our hair.
We have gold in our teeth.
We have stones in our kidneys.
We have titanium in our joints

Ladies, if a man says he will fix it, he will.

There is no need to remind him every 6 months about it.

I refer back to my all time favourite writer Hunter.S. Thompson and the quote that is often wrongly claimed by others to be theirs.......

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside
in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming-"Wow, what a ride"!

Like Firko I love the Hunter S but Oscar Wilde is my Fav, Oscar had more wit and the ability to take the piss so well that they jailed him for it.
Fav Super Hunk quote.
Honda dosen't give a power figure for the SL 125 which is just about right.

There is no such thing as:

If it good and fast its not cheap
fast and cheap is not good
and good and cheap its not fast

There are two rules for success: (1.) Don't tell all you know.

Treat each day as your last; one day it will be.

Had amnesia once - maybe twice

I want to die like my uncle, peacefully in his sleep, not screaming and terrified, like his passengers

If you’re being chased by a police dog; try not to go through a tunnel, then on to a little seesaw, then jump through a hoop of fire. They’re trained for that.

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon'.

If you you're unhappy and you want to turn your life around, try playing a Country and Western record backwards.

You'll get your job back.

Having been off work for the past two months, and with a few more to come before returning to work, following my latest motorcyling Indiscretion which added another broken collar bone, a busted shoulder, and two breaks to my right leg which will eventually need a knee replacement to fix, I think I am on my way to fulfilling this quote!!

Totally agree CJ, I went through 3 months off work this year but we really do need to pace ourselves.
I'm hoping to slide on in when I'm in my 80's, not my 50's.
Good luck with the recovery.

A couple of quotes my ole boss used to say.

Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe. [great words of wisdom]


He always said he wanted to die at the age of ninety, shot by a gelous husband.
